forgot to post link to tweet oops

It just HAS to be g2 right ? Like they're so desperate for NA, it has to be them
It's just strange that bo followed it up with "people are gonna be soooo mad when they find out" if it was g2? I mean everyone knows G2 woulda been in NA franchise league if not for carlos being an idiot. Them grinding tier 2 to qualify changes nothing, why would people be "so mad when they find out" ?

Discuss ?

The lack of leaks is killing me

As i said before, riot shoulda put the league in Tokyo
Japan has done 100x more for valorant than korea so yea, now they can have fun with 720p apac league

Yes because this is definitely twitch’s fault 🙄

bruh yacine was brought in to play trexx's role instead of russ
so instead of having 4 people used to their role in the team and one replacement (yacine was prepared to just sage/kayo for them ezpz) it was like they had 2 ppl not used to their role IN the team (trexx was moved to kayo and shit instead of his amazing entry role like why). I mean coaching staff was so disconnected they literally made him play jett when he told them he hadnt played it in a while. And his timings were off as a duelist etc because he had like 3 days of practice with them

Sure yacine isnt like some insane player rn like derke or trexx or something but what happened in lcq was just riot fucking them and coaching failure imo.

edit : i wrote way too much i'm just still salty over what happened to guild and it wasnt yacine's fault imo. sry

tenz on same team as marved HAH not happening
disaster team atmosphere wise

bruh the fact he had to post LFT twice are u serious
Probably top 2 coach in EMEA with doombros
These EU orgs are trolling

fnc and tl roster arent even confirmed
They were just testing waters

Where is sayf? Did you just forget sayf existed

“Na team”
=> Adds scream

Does na suck so bad they cant make an unstoppable team with full na players in your mind? Rip.

They are rich as fuck
Theyre so rich they got 3 garbage csgo teams just collecting paychecks. Stewie was paid 30k/month to sit on his ass and play valorant when he shouldve been practicing csgo (close to 200 hours/ month )
lmao

So no eg is overflowing with money.

We cannot escape this situation. The talent drain will grow bigger and bigger in the next few years, as the eu players that left talking to their eu pro friends about how insane LA is and how much more money they make over there (probably more than 2x as much money. Jamppi is said to be making 7.5k a month while shitters in NA with less talent than jamppi’s pinkie are paid 15k a month), how “hot” the girls are (they got groupies over there , probably more than lcs players do). And it will get worse and worse. Eu cant compete with those salaries lol.

I feel even worse for brazil and latam teams they wont be able to compete with NA teams’ salaries. They could get their players stolen whenever NA teams wish, if they smurf too hard on the NA league lol, as long as they speak english (not hard)

Love : leo leo leo leo leo leo leo leo and leo and yacine
Hate : i dont hate any of them. I however heavily dislike shahzam, zombs, mixwell.

Bruh leave the guy alone for a bit, he gets a bit too much flame these days. I feel bad for him

who confirmed any of this stuff ?

I mean besides navi buying fpx (minuts maybe ardiis) which was confirmed by george ?

Idk i personally like the whole roster, i'm really hype for it actually except cender i feel like they could get better but we will see
Still excited

Bruh but why keep cender ?

They should've gotten more coaching staff already + swapped boaster
But ig it doesnt hurt to give him one or two more chances. If they do get chronicle and leo both then it's obvious that boaster needs to go. If you can't win with chronicle leo alfa derke it just means the strats are bad and the team is not playing well together which falls on igl and coaching staff. Best case scenario imo is boaster mini coaching and finding an igl that can bring new ideas and challenge them, cause the worst thing about fnc is how slow they are at learning and adapting to everything (slow af to learn pearl they had the worst pearl at champions, slow to incorporate chamber, they didnt do it immediately like all the other teams, slow to incorporate astra (reason why they lost iceland, sentinels and zombs alrdy had astra down to a T and she was OP and boaster mini didnt realize it), etc.) 1 more person that can challenge them would be great.

We'll see.

i want leo on sova/fade tho. I dont want him playing flashes.
His sova and fade are chef's kiss nah dude

IMO alfa's raze is better and also chamber is not nerfed yet is he ?
At champs he was still at 70% pickrate. We'll worry about that once chamber gets nerfed
Sadly the problem is alfajer is 100x more flexible than derke. He can play viper kj etc. Can you imagine derke playing those ? Just weird. But then derke's jett is godly so idk man

And well chronicle would need to learn a new role yeah ? skye/kayo type... Imo chronicle was best when he was on sova but if u have leo then it's just a waste not to so idk. Maybe chronicle lowkey has the best kayo/skye ever and we dont know that yet.
I wouldnt mind sheydos tbh

yes because magnum mistic and doma were a super team when they reached iceland finals
And when fnatic picked up magnum that was because he was a super player so when he joined he completed a super team
And for sure enzo was ANOTHER star player that everyone woulda dropped the mullah for when he joined fnatic from alliance to make for a super team

Try to understand what u're typing first lol. In no way is a team that has mistic and enzo in it a fucking super team (nor were the previous iterations). And you're delusional if you think that.

Better call saul breaking bad severance raised by wolves see season 1 the expanse alice in borderlands the boys

There are many more these are just off the top of my head

he doesnt bring them down because of his lack of roles lmaoooo that's horsecrap
What's dragging them down is even after L1nk stepped down they still didnt pick up a dedicated IGL and instead when with another standard aimer (dimasick)
Their refusal to get a dedicated IGL is what hurts them lool, scream isnt the one deciding that. He even accepted to put the igl burden on himself because no one else on the team wants it, can't do more than that for the team.

tl, always
How can you even ask to choose between jamppi/scream and the mess that VIT as an org is lol
easiest choice ever

where is the leo sayf kolda to koi coming from
who "leaked" that, anyone know ?

sheydos and cloud (ssk started popping off so people forgot cloud was the one carrying them 99% of the time and honestly he's still better)

Emea is stacked with amazing players. There are many more top players than this list suggests that are available

NA teams have 100x more money lmao
why would he do that

Yall got yinsu mad hahaha
Why do people read vlr and take it seriously. Like imagine caring so much about vlr comments. Isn’t everyone here just chilling and baiting

I'm blind, i didnt see Leo

And no i think Leo will wish to stay with sayf and wouldn't wanna play for this fnc team, personally

Enzo’s bot aim 💀

he won't cry
when fpx lose, he just says gg's we do better next time or something normal. That's not his type at all.

suygetsu goated

I wouldnt fucking fistbump those crybabies either
The other 4 are much better than me cause i'd be legit too mad not to punch their coach

This was truly pathetic by riot

Zyppan made a "cry" gesture, at xset and doombros talked shit to xset dephh( deserved)

Can't win even after crying about the turret for over a fucking hour

called this tech pause ?

That's not the same
That cypher bug was on the ban list and vivo used it knowingly.
This has been in the game for 2 years and everyone played kj just like that. If it's a big then FIX YOUR GAME RIOT and replay every single round where thsi kj mechanic happened

Pathetic agent
we couldve had an even better and more exciting champions if they had actually nerfed chamber properly (his TP), he makes everything so boring.

it's different this time, FPX does not have the map pool necessary for winning this tournament

watch fnc not ban pearl because mini and boaster still think they' only "made silly mistakes" in the past 2 absolutely embarrassing pearl losses

Watching fnc and fpx vetoes been giving me anxiety

Optic is a defense team overall. So it doesnt really matter.

Simple answer ? Map pool
Longer answer :
Emea map pool is absolute dogpoop trash
Its funny how mini insists on playing pearl and banning smth else when its clearly their current worst map as they are absolutely clueless on it and look horrible. I mean 100t has 2x less time than fnc to prepare pearl and yet they were so much better at it. Mini and boaster always take months (way too much time) to get good at a map or even understand it.
Their other maps arent that good. Ascent? Xset and fpx and loud and drx have a better ascent. Bind? Optic xset drx have better bind. Haven ? Xset and fpx and drx have a better haven. Fracture? Optic drx fpx xset have a better fracture. They’re simply worse.

Fpx uncharacteristically were extremely slow at learning pearl too they looked fucking atrocious. Just as clueless as fnc on it, honestly i couldnt finish the map. But they only played it once, they recognize their pearl is trash for now, unlike fnc. T

Now breeze, fpx think their breeze is good for some reason. Maybe because they won copenhagen on breeze but tbh that whole tourney, their breeze looked horrible (sometimes ange1 yoru, sometimes ange1 fade and other fluctuating shit, they didnt even know what to do on it). And if prx had a human comp they might’ve won it.

Thats 2 maps where most other teams remaining are much better at. (Not including loud on pearl only). So its a big veto disadvantage. Optic have the best map pool at the event so far, to my knowledge.

Emea needs to get back to work after roster lock to get back on fork cause this aint it 😅

There was no way for TL to win this
How many times did TL play ascent? And they didnt change a single thing? Did they really think they could just come swinging with the exact same shit and not be antistratted when optic had this much time to antistrat and vod review the shit out of them ?
Apparently yes because that's what TL did. That was so terrible. GG's to optic, they did their job

And they will
I dont see a world where Team "dry swing everything" Liquid beats optic

I think xset clears fnatic
Optic clears liquid
But FPX should take care of drx IMO

they got schooled on pearl and somehow every eu team can't play that fucking map (wrong pearl meta read lmao prx and na are much better at this map)
So 2-1 100T imo, i'm willing to bet my bank account (it's empty though)

it's not because of cypher, cypher is good on breeze and suygetsu is great at it
No fpx just are not good on breeze so

nah

Leviathan then fpx
